All things must pass
Although I don't like the title song.

I like the Beatles' version from the Get Back Sessions better than George's individual version.

that's exactly the version I don't like  :-/
I've listened to that and it had "All Things Must Pass" all over the place....I got sick of listening to it. More than I could bear, the whole CD had this song in slightly different versions....gaaaah....more than I could take. :(

I do like the harmonies John and Paul are providing.

All Things Must Pass with Extra Texture a close second.

I'm starting to like Living In The Material World a lot more than I did before. I like how it doesn't have the wall of sound and is a little more simple. All the songs are great too.

Suprisingly - All Things Must Pass ;)

Living In The Material World a close second.

We'll assume ATMP shouldn't even be in this list-- it's too easy!  ;)

So I voted for 33 and a third for my second-place choice. It's happy and funny. Although George's eponymous album is on my list. I want to hold off and get a remastered version; I imagine Olivia will be rereleasing his entire catalog over time. That will be great!

Without doubt ALL THINGS MUST PASS is a masterpiece .
Second place has to be LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD.

Extra texture has got to be GEORGES lowest point in his entire career IMO

I seem to remember having this conversation with someone else recently. They are all remastered and reissued except Dark Horse and Extra Texture. Possibly coming this year. 33 and a 3rd is included in the box set - The Dark Horse Years.

the best album by George could well be All Things Must Pass but
i always keep coming back to 33 & 3rd.
It's got so many great underated george songs on it and the guitar
solo on Pure Smokey is just so perfect!

A foregone conclusion really. Should have made the vote georges second best 70's album in which case i would have gon efor Thirty Three & A Third. In fact his second best album, period.
